Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

Chapter 464  Wrap-up and Returning Home



Chapter 464  Wrap-up and Returning Home

"Commander, we're starting to run out of ammo."

With all five of the colonels reporting the same news, Xiaoyun was a little confused about why the zombie leader had retreated.

Seeing the zombies standing on the other side of the bridge with half of what they originally had only confused him even more.

If they had kept pushing, it would have forced Xiaoyun to have his troop fight in melee.

Or he would have been forced to blow up the bridge as the last resort to be pulled out.

"Artillery brigade, you may begin test firing at the zombie horde," Xiaoyun ordered through the walkie-talkie.

"Affirmative."

As a loud bang suddenly began to go off in the distance, Kate and the other Colonels were a little confused by Xiaoyun's order.

However, they soon realized the artillery wasn't aimed at the bridge but at the entrance on the other side.

"Where's the explosion?" Kate curiously asked as they all watched the black dot in the sky land on the other side.

"Just a blank round test shot..."

After several rounds of testing, Xiaoyun's walkie-talkie finally rang up again.

"Commander, test shot complete!"

"You may begin the strike... But remember to shoot it away from the bridge."

"Yes, sir!"

Within a few seconds, a loud explosion could finally be heard before an even louder explosion appeared.

Right before them, they could see the zombies finally begin to scatter as the explosion rained from the sky.

"Commander, should we advance to clean up the remaining?" One of the Colonel curiously asked.

"No need... Killing those zombies won't make a difference."

Xiaoyun's answer confused them a little until he decided to reveal the information he had been holding back.

"A zombie leader is directing them. Even if we kill all those zombies, he's going just to get more somewhere else."

The colonels finally understood what Xiaoyun was implying and also confirmed what they had been thinking for the past few days.

"Then, shouldn't we send troops to find the zombie leader?" Another Colonel raised his concern.

"You think he's still here? Look at the way the zombies are scattering."

As the colonels checked through their binoculars, they quickly realized what Xiaoyun meant.

Almost all of the zombies were completely scattered, running all over the place away from the bridge.

Not a single one was rushing toward them, almost as if they had grown fear from the gunfire earlier.

"Why are they running away if the zombie leader is gone?" The third Colonel curiously asked.

"To hide themselves."

As the artillery strike stopped, the other side was completely flattened with no zombies in sight.

All of them had run away down the highway or to the nearby buildings, with their body pieces and blood being the only trace of them being there.

"12th and 13th Division, can you stay here at Humen Bridge? Just make sure that no zombies advance through this bridge."

"Yes, sir!"

All of the colonels looked a little excited, except for the two colonels who got named, looking a little down.

"Everyone else, get your soldiers ready. We're going to head back to Luoping next morning."

As the next morning arrived, Xiaoyun sent out the helicopter and the scouting plane that had just arrived.

After scouting the entire area and noticing there was no zombie horde anywhere near, Xiaoyun sent the helicopter back to Yiming's army.

"Are we not going to deal with the zombie horde in Dongguan?" Kate curiously asked as they began to pack up their stuff.

"That's for Yiming to deal with... We're only here to deal with the one in Shenzhen.

Besides, do I look like I have any more ammo to deal with the other one? Unless you want to stay here——"

"Hell no, I want to go back home already. My body smells so bad all because of you."

Xiaoyun only awkwardly scratched his head as the two of them got inside their car.

"Where did the buses come from? I thought we had no more transportation."

Kate curiously asked as several buses arrived for the soldiers to get inside, with more down the road.

"Ask Yuqi yourself. She can give you an explanation."

As Kate watched Xiaoyun take out an opened letter, she got a little curious about what was inside.

"Did she send you the letter?"

"Yeah."

Seeing Xiaoyun not wanting to say what was inside, Kate didn't ask again as she drove off.

When Xiaoyun and Kate arrived back home in Luoping, Leyan, and all the kids were missing.

"Where is everyone?"

The two wondered as they searched the entire house together, only to find it empty.

Everything upstairs was gone, from the furniture to the house decoration in the bedroom.

The outside bathroom and Leyan's bathroom were also emptied, with the only thing in place being a bunch of raw pipes exposed in the air.

Even his office room was emptied, as were all of the guest rooms and the kitchen itself.

The only hint the two had was a bunch of concrete and construction material in the backyard.

"Did they leave any messages of some sort?" Kate curiously asked.

"Nope. No warning or anything... Wait, I think I know where they went."

Xiaoyun didn't explain any further as he headed over to the garage before entering inside the driver's seat.

"Where is it?" Kate curiously asked as she sat in the passenger seat this time.

"They have to be at a hotel."

"Why?"

"Just watch."

As the garage door opened, Xiaoyun quickly drove out of the house.

However, on the way to the hotel, a bunch of construction cars stopped right in front of their house.

"Ah, the house is under renovation... No wonder why it was so empty like that."

"That explains it..."

After watching the construction worker enter inside, Xiaoyun started the car back up as he drove down the street block.

"How do you know they are at a hotel?" Kate curiously asked as Xiaoyun continued driving around Luoping.

"Because that's the only place they could stay... All of the houses in Luoping had already been taken."

As Xiaoyun continued driving down, the two left the inner residential area of Luoping and returned to the outer part.

Eventually, the two arrived at the biggest hotel in Luoping, the only one allowed to house both outsiders and citizens.

The moment the two stepped inside the building, they could feel everyone's attention turning toward them.

"M-Mr. Governor?" The front desk lady nervously asked.

"Did you receive any customers who are... my wives?" Xiaoyun quietly whispered the last part.

"N-No, sir. We don't have records of them moving in."

As the two walked back out of the hotel, Xiaoyun decided to head straight to the administrative office first to find Yuqi.

Just as he expected, she was sitting in the office with a young woman standing right behind her.

"Thank you."

As the two walked back out of the hotel, Xiaoyun decided to head straight to the administrative office first to find Yuqi.

Just as he expected, she was sitting in the office with a young woman standing right behind her.

"You finally decided to come back?" Yuqi murmured as she waved the young woman to leave the room.

"Hey, don't make it sound like I wasn't working. Anyway, where did everyone go?" Xiaoyun curiously asked.

"We moved into Huayi's house for a bit since her husband isn't home anyway.

You probably already saw our house under renovation... Ugh, what's that smell?"

As Yuqi pinched her nose with her finger, the two quickly left the administrative office before heading back to the car.

"Kate, do we smell that bad?"

"What do you think? We haven't taken a shower for a week. No wonder why everyone's attention was on us."

"Fuck, I knew I should have just driven off somewhere private to take a shower."

As the two of them arrived at Huayi's house, he could already see Meiya and Huayi sitting on the front porch.

All of the kids were running around the front yard with Bingbing and Wenwen peacefully lying in their arms.

"Hey! Welcome back!" Leyan excitedly waved as Xiaoyun and Kate exited the car.

"Sorry to ask this, but can I take a shower first?" Kate immediately asked Huayi as they walked up to the porch.

"Sure, let me bring you there."

As Kate and Huayi headed inside the house, all of the kids excitedly ran up to him before running away.

"We can talk later. Let me go take a shower as well first."

Leyan nodded as she pinched her nose to block the sweaty smell that had finally hit her.

Xiaoyun immediately entered the house and walked straight to the bathroom, only to run into Huayi standing right outside the bathroom.

"Hey, Xiaoyun... You want me to bring you to a different bathroom?" Huayi asked as she could smell the same sweat smell that Kate had earlier.

"No need."

As Xiaoyun tried to open the door, Kate had already locked it.

"Kate, let me in."

After a short, awkward silence, the door finally opened, revealing Kate, who was fully naked.

"You better not touch me——"

"Of course."

Xiaoyun slammed the door shut as he headed inside, but Huayi didn't seem to mind as she headed back to the front porch.

"Are they already that open to each other?" Huayi curiously asked as she sat down next to Leyan.

"Yeah," Leyan answered as if she knew what Huayi was trying to ask despite not going inside the house herself.
